At 12:23 p.m. on June 17th, 2018 Littleton Fire Rescue responded to several reports of a small brush fire in the open space northeast of Northridge Elementary School in Highlands Ranch. First arriving Brush 18 found a quarter acre grass fire moving at a slow to moderate rate of spread uphill and toward homes on Fox Hunt Circle. The incident was upgraded to a Wildland Interface Fire and additional units were dispatched, including mutual aid from South Metro Fire Rescue. Brush 18 and Brush 17 positioned as close as possible to heel, anchored at a creek and trail intersection, then advanced progressive hose lays to each flank. Medic 17 and Medic 18 joined their crews; Battalion 1 positioned at the heel and assumed command. Engine 15 and Engine 16 responded to 576 Fox Hunt Circle and advanced a line to the rear for structure protection. Brush 40 accessed the trail system from the north side of the incident and assisted with containment. The fire was quickly contained, no structures were damage, no injuries occurred and the cause is under investigation.
